Easter Bunny

Aiden LOVES the Easter Bunny.  He has been begging to sit with him for weeks now.  We took him to see him tonight.  He just laughed and loved on the bunny.  It was so sweet.



Fun in the Sun

Here are a few shots of Aiden from this weekend.  We went down to Panama City with 2 other families and we had a blast. It was very windy, but that didn't slow the kids down at all!

 Hopefully I can get some of the pictures taken at the Zoo soon, and post them.  My camera is still acting funny, so I wasn't able to take any.

Caught in the Act!

Aiden has been up to some cute stuff lately. Bad, but cute.

He always sneaks off or waits until I leave the room and then he gets into things he shouldn’t.. most of the time it’s pretty adorable, so I snap a photo before I correct him. Here are a few “Caught in the Act” photos…

IMG00408-20110314-1733This would be Aiden using his riding toy lion to reach things he knows he’s not allowed to play with or touch.
   IMG00419-20110325-1738THIS is Aiden trying to take a bath all by himself.  He hadn’t turned the water on, but he climbed over in there fully clothed, and wanted to play with his bath toys.

IMG00451-20110406-1206   Now, THIS is Aiden’s favorite place from which to watch his videos. No matter how many times I tell him no, I can always find him there a few minutes later. Note, the comfy chair right below him. Yeah, he just uses that as a step stool.

IMG00634-20110409-0950And this, you really can’t tell much about.. but its Aiden jumping on the storage ottoman.  He thinks this is hilarious!

Aiden is growing and becoming more mischievous every day.  He had his 18 month well baby check up this week, and he weighed a whopping 30 pounds and was 34 and a quarter inches long! This put him in the 90th percentile on both height and weight! He’s my big boy!

Aiden’s new favorite past time is singing and doing the hand motions to wheels on the bus.  My mission is to get a video of this.. it is too funny! Hopefully, that will be the next thing I post!

I leave you with a picture of Aiden with his “shades” on his head.. Oh yeah, He’s just too cool.

Beach Trip!!

So, about 6:00 Friday evening, Tal and I decided we would should have a beach trip.  So, we called up a hotel, made a reservation, ate dinner, packed, and was on our way! We put Aiden in his pajamas since we were leaving basically at his bed time and he slept the entire way!

We got to Destin around 10:30 and got checked into the hotel. Then.. Aiden woke up and was so excited and ready to play! This was Aiden’s first time in a hotel, so we already knew we were in for a long night. Aiden wouldn't fall asleep in the pack and play so he wrestled us in our bed until he finally gave in and fell asleep around 12:30 and then we were able to move him to his “bed” and he slept until 7:00 Saturday morning.

Saturday we made our way onto the beach, it was Aiden’s first time ever! He LOVED it! He has a ton of sand toys and got right to work shoveling, filling buckets, and building “castles”

And, OF COURSE, Daddy had to get in on the action…

We weren’t planning on getting in the water. It was still a little cold for that, and I hadn’t even bought Aiden a swimsuit yet. However, Aiden had different plans.  He spotted the water and took his Daddy by the hand and headed that way!

Then, Aiden decided we weren’t letting him get close enough, so we let him do it himself. Of course THIS is what happened…

Now that Aiden had gotten into the water, that’s all he wanted to do! Here’s Mommy and Aiden “jumping” the waves…

We only stayed a few more minutes afterwards, because it really was too cool to be running around in wet clothes, but here are a couple more cute pictures…

Afterwards, we went to the Crab Shack for lunch and Aiden couldn’t wait to get back out on the beach and play some more!

Later, we went to the Gulf Breeze Zoo and then to the Destin Commons Mall, but my camera somehow lost all of those photos. He had a great time at both places though! He especially enjoyed seeing the Easter Bunny and Puppy walking around Destin Commons. He squealed and pointed, ran toward them and danced around but would never get close enough to touch them.  He wasn’t too sure about the touching.
Hopefully, we can get back down there soon.  We only stayed one day, and I think Aiden was really just getting started. I’m so glad he had such a good time and I can’t wait for next time!
